Donating to Partners in Health? As if I didn’t love them enough before….
Am I the only one that finds it ironic that Spoon, with like more than 10 years in the industry and like 7 albums, is opening for Arcade Fire, with like 5 years and 2 albums?
I’m not sure what is ironic?
Don’t think # of albums is an indicator of anything…Coldplay was playing arenas by their 3rd album. And this tour is in support of Arcade Fire’s 3rd album.
Well I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I just found it odd how fast some bands make it big and how long it takes for others. I love both of these bands and I would kill to see them live (and to see them playing together would just be a mindfuck).
“Bach is more popular than Four Tet even though he didn’t release any albums.”
Bro you’re talking ass.
Ugh @ Madison Sq. Garden. I hate MSG… the sound is usually pretty terrible. Radio City would’ve been a much better fit.
No west coast dates? Grrr.
And it’s splitting hairs, and I assume this is their mistake, but MPP isn’t in DC.
Sep. 28 they’ll be in Seattle @ Qwest Field… It hasn’t been officially announced yet.
